A sharp frost at night did not promise particularly well for the sport to-day, but the warm rays of the sun soon made it good going, and by 1 30 a much larger assemblage than yesterday had made its way to the course. The Lin colnshire Handicap was the one subject of speculation and comment. Not that betting was in any degree brisk on the occasion ; the easy victory of Anglo• Saxon the previous day seeming to point to a foregone conclusion on this. A strong party, however, went for Benjamin, the representa tive of the French stable, turned loose at bet 121 b. They were rewarded for their sagacity by his easy winning; the Duke de Morny running second with Partisan; so our neighbours have began the season in this country well. Some money changed hands on the occasion. The other events call for no particular comment, and are fully detailed below. The ground was in fair order. By this time you probably know positively not only that the Prussians are at Kolding, but that they mean to remain there, and also to hold Godse or some other point to the north-west, on the road to Frederica ; so that J utland is decidedly invaded. may be doubted, however, whether such invasion 8, GREAT WINDMILL-STREET, W.

This Company has been established for the purpose of purchasing a property in the kingdom of Sweden, known as the Gellivar , Estates, with the v-ew of developing its great resources. The property comprises (A) About 1,200,000 acres of land, 900,000 acres of which are freehold, and the remaining 300,000 acres can be made of the same tenure. More than 5u0,000 acres consist of good forests of red and white pines ; 100,000 acres are already under cul tivation or fit tor it ; and fur her extensive districts will become available for agricultural purposes. (B) The Geltivara iron bed is probably the largest and most productive in the world, extending over nearly three square miles. The ore consists partly of hematite and partly of IDrotoxide of iron, without any visible trace of pyrite, yielding on the average 65 per cent. of pure metal. The mountain was surveyed in 1857 by a practical English mining engineer, Mr. Thomas, F.G.S., and he reported his opinion to be that— " By adopting a systematic mode of working. there may be readily extracted from seven to eight millions of tons of very fine magnetic ironstone. readily obtainable by levels, and without the application of any draining machinery; and that, no doubt, even this large quantity might be materially in. ; creased byremoval of top rubbish and vegetation on the line of bearing of the ironstone, before it will be found nezessary to apply any machinery for drainage." The mountain was likewise inspected in 1852 by Professor Erdmann, Chiet Director of the Royal Geological Surveys in Sweden. and, according to his report, a great number of the veins are estimated at from to 200 feet in thickness, and about 1,000 feet in length, and the produce of one single vein may fairly be calculated to equal more than three million tons of ore. (C) 215 farms, nine water and one steam sawmill, two blast furnaces, four ironworks, a ship-building, yard, &c. The greater portion of this property was purchased from the late King of Sweden by an association of merchants in Sweden and Norway, whose operations have been confined to the wood business; and to a gradual extension of the cultiva tion of the land. _ _ The wood business yields very favourable results. The annual production is about 10,000 St. Petersburg standards, or about 33,0c0 loads, costing on an average L 3, and selling readily for shipment to England, France, Spain, .0., at prices equal to an average of Li ss. per standard, tree on board at the shipping ports, thus showing . a profit of £1 Is. ier stan dard. This production can b ; considerably increased by the erection of more sawmills. _ _ The value of the iron ore is increased by the circumstance that, without encroaching on the timb T adapted for more valuable purposes, tie forests of the estates and the waste wood at the different sawmills Ave an abundant supply of charcoal, at a low cost, so that 25,000 tons of pig iron can readily be made at a cost of £1 19s. per ton, free on board at the shipping port, while the present selling . price is above £4 per ton. A ready sale of the ore may be safely calculated on at the estimated price of 153. per ton, free on la)ard, at the a ipping port, t., the owners of the for, sts and sawmills on both the sarcdish and Finland side of the Gulf of Bothnia, wno have now large quiantities of wood annually wasted, which they con ei turn into value by making charcoal of it if they could obtain good iron ore at a moderate cost for smelting. The only obstacle for working the mineral property has bee.‘ the oifficulty of transport of the ore from the mountain to the furnaces a, d shipping port. The Swedish Govern ment anti act, fu ly appreciating the great benefits which the working of these valuable mines would have on the national prosperity, have now lent their aid by granting a considerable subvention for facilitating the transport. Very careful -urveys have proved that the most cc ,nomi cal means of transport will be by ara lway from the iron mountain to the river Lu;e, a distance f about sixty English miles, and by further making two short canal- .o avoid rapids and fat a, which will render that river navigab e to the port cf G tddvik in the Gu lof Bothnia. The entire cost of this raiiway, inchelincr rolling stock. and of the two canals, will not existed £232,000, and towards thi the Swedi h Government and Diet have granted a af . - vention to the ,mount of 850,060 rix dollars, or about £48,000. This Company has cont acted to purchase all these vain islo,e estates for the sum of t225,0J0, in order to carry on and extend the wood basin. s, to extend the cultivation of the Tan to work the mineral wealth of the property, and to cons ruct for this purpose the railway from the Gel ivara iron mount in to the river Lule and the two canal on that river. For these purposes a capital of £500,000 is required. • The presen stock, about 8,000 standards of manufactured wood goods, will be taken over from the vendors at their actual cost price, whereby a considerable profit wi lbe directly gained by the Company. Three years will be required to construct the railroad and the canals, so as to bring the iron business into full operation. The returns of the undertaking may then be fairly esti mated as under:- Ist. From the sale of 60,000 tons of iron ore to pro prietors of furnaces in Sweden and Finland, at a profit ot 6s. per ton 2d. From the production of 25,000 tons of pig iron at the Company's own furnaces at a profit of .£2 Is per ton 3d. From 15,000 standards of wood at a profit of £llB, per standard • 4th. From net income of railw ay 8,700 sth. From net income of canal and traffic thereon.. 6,395 £103,095 Deduct for management, &c.. 8,095 Net Profit or 19 per cent. on the share capital irrespective of returns from land, probable increase in sale of ore, and profits to be derived from the Company making bar iron and steel. During the first three years required for the full develop ment of the property, the vendors guarantee that the income on the paid-up capital shall amount to at least 6 per cent. per annum payable half-yearly, and they have bound themselves to make up any deficiency in such amounts ; as security for the due fulfilment of this guarantee, the vendors leave in the hands of the Company £50,000 of the purchase-money, which, together with the profits of the wood business, forms an ample guarantee fund. The map and schedule of the estates, estimates of clot of railroad and canals, and estimates of cost of production of iron and wood, together with the reports of Mr. 'I homas, and of Mr. Alexander Erdman, and a letter from the Minister of the Interior, in Sweden, bearing testimony to the great in terest of the Swedish Government in the undertaking, may be seen at the Company's Offices.

Dawes and Sons, and at the Temporary Offices of the Company. . .e Application for Shares must be made in the annexed form, accompanied by a deposit of £1 per lication for Shares may be Share.

Roiling Stock and Waggon Compan: most successful undertakings of the dai dividends to the Shareholders, and acct serve funds, as will be seen from the fol a few of them : Les are amongst the distributing large mutating ample re- Llowing statement of Dividend per cent. in the Ist year's working. The D rectors have received promises of large contracts for the construction of carriages and other business as soon as the company is in condition to commence active operations; and the business intended to be undertaken not being of a speculative nature, but well defined, and yielding very large profits to other persons now engaged in them. The Directors, at the Second Half-Yearly Meeting of the United Kingdom Rolling Stock Company, have just declared a Dividend at the rate of 6 per cent., free of Income Tax, for the past Six Months. The amount to the credit of profit and less was equal to the payment of a Dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. ter annum; but in the present early stage of the Company's existence, it has been thought better to carry over the balance to the next halt year. Prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained of the brokers, or of the solicitors, or at the offices of the Com pany. The deposit of 10s. upon each share applied for must be paid to the company's bankers when the application is sent in. This sum will be returned in full if no allotment be made to the applicant.

She brings 40 passengers. _ The governor was to leave Table Bay on Jan. 21 in the Narcissus for Algoa Bay, en route for Graham's Town, where th e gover nor's visit was to be marked by the townsp eop l e with triumphal arches, bonfires, and illuminations. It was not known what measures the governor intended to bring before the Parliament. A batch of new taxation bills were expected, but on what interest the imposts were to be laid had not been announced. The governor had ordered the stoppage of all public works, the insufficient s u p p li es provided by the Parliament last year bein g ex h aus ted. t The condition of colonial fina nces was beginning attract attention. It Was e x p ec t e d that not withstanding every possible curtailment of the current expenditure, yet by Ju ne nex t the tem porary loans necessary to eke out th e t r easurer's resources would be increased to at least £lOO,OOO. The commander of the forces was to accompany the governor, and make a tour of insp ec tion of the various military stations and outp os t s . It was expected that the head-quarters -wo u ld again be established at Graham's Town. Telegraphic intelligence received at Graham's Town on Jan. 8 states that all was quiet oa the Kaffir prophet had arisen, advising the Keffirs to s ow p l ent if u lly f o r frontier, but that another three years, and not to dispose of the crops, but to store them up, as after three years no corn would grow. This was thought to be a design to provide alone for campaigning purposes, Advocate Brand, President Elect of the Free State, had left Cape Town for Bloemfontein, the seat of the Free State Government. He was feted in the colonial towns through which he passed. Fresh disturbances had occurred in the Trans vaal, in which Pretorius was said to have had a discreditable share. An attempt had been made to oust Van Rensebung from the presidency in favour Pretorius, but was expected to fail. Business in the colony was improving. Provi sions were very cheap. The Saxon arrived out on the 12th. The mails landed here were forwarded by the night trains. The Saxon leaves at midnight for Southampton. PLYMOUTH, Feb. 26. The Cape mail brings no news of Dr. Living stone: Dr. Mellor, of the Zinabesi exploring expedition has returned to England by the Saxon.

The start was delayed some time in consequence of seve ral of the light weights breaking away, in the first of which Ess Bouquet, overpowering her rider, ran the course throughout, and when taken back resolutely refused to face her horses. When the flag was lowered Fluke rushed to the front, but in a few strides he was headed by Despair, who with Partisan and the favourite, Ess Bouquet, and Benja min lying up, made the running to the first turn, where Partisan headed him and came on with a clear lead, which he held into the straight, where he was joined by Anglo- Saxon, the pair being joined half-way up by Benjamin, who headed them in a few strides, and won in a canter by five lengths, Partisan defeating the favourite by a length for second, a similar distance separating the second and third. Despair was fourth, close up; Confederate fifth, Dunkeld sixth, Siva seventh, and Neophyte next. The last three were Ess Bouquet, Fluke, and Hetman.

Betting-2 to 1 each agst Tolurno and Avalanche, and 100 to 15 agst Camperdown. Avalanche, in company with Camperdown, Baron of Avon, and Lady of the Isles, cleared the first flight of hurdles a length or two in advance of Tolurno, close up with whom came Confidence, Hetman, and Cronstadt bringing up the rear—some distance in the'r track. Rounding the lower turn Avalanche took a decided lead—but on reaching the flight of hurdles halfway up the hill she was again chal lenged by Camperdown, who was closely followed by Baron of Avon, Lady of the Isles, and Confidence, the lot running in close company along the far-side. On reaching the mile • post the two latter wore disposed of, and Tolurno fora brief period flattered his backers by carrying his colours to the front, but dying away, as they reached the T.Y.C. post the race was left with Avalanche, Camperdown, and Baron of Avon, who ran together to the last flight of hurdles, which Camperdown cleared slightly in advance of the favourite, and won in a canter by a length. Tolurno, who ran past the pulling-up horses, was a bad third. The others stopped on the post. On returning to scale an objection was lodged against the winner on the ground of his owner being in the forfeit list, which was left for the decision of the stewards. The Lincolnshire Hunt Steeplechase of 5 soya each, 50 added. About four miles. 17 subs. Mr S. J. Wellies Creole, 4 yrs, 1 Ist 71b (Mr. Goodwin) 1 Mr G. Walker's Pigeon, 4 yrs, list 71b (Mr G.

Betting—Even on Creole, 5 to 1 agst Pigeon, 7 to 1 agst Cadet, and 8 to 1 agst Bolingbroke. Bolingbroke was the first away, and came over the first flight of hurdles slightly in advance of the favourite, who was closely followed by Pigeon, Cadet, Mary Hill, and Miss Rathbone, the others following at wide intervals past the stand. Proceeding up the hill, Creole went to the foro and somewhat increased the pace, Pigeon going on second, and Cadet third, when positions were retained round the win ning field to the flight of hurdles near the bottom turns, which the leading horses cleared very cleverly, but Miss Rathbone, less fortunate, fell in them, and was left some distance in the rear. On entering the meadows, Creole in creased his lead of Pigeon, Sorceress going on third, Tan cred fourth, with Cadet and Sir Richard next; the others presenting a beaten appearance. No alteration occurred in their positions, Creole holding his own to the end and win ning in a canter by five lengths, a bad third, Cadet was fourth, Miss Rathbone fifth, Tancred sixth, and Mary Hill and Emblem, side by side, next; Bolingbroke trotted in last. The Selling Steeplechase of 5 sous each, with 30 added, with selling allowances. 12st each.

SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC.—Last evening an ih quest was held in Leman-street, St. Saviours, on the body of Joseph Chapman, aged 47, The evidence showed that the deceased, who was a house-painter, had recently exhibited symptoms of a return of mental disease, from which he had previously suffered. On Sunday he managed to elude the vigilance of his wife, and threw himself into a cistern containing 14 inches of water. When discovered and taken out life was extinct. The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. [ADTERTISEMENTI-11olloway's Ointment and Pills.— These highly-esteemed madicamtnts cannot be too strongly recommended for curing most of the m dadies to which humanity is heir. They are as suitable for the child first entering on the journey of life as for the old man tottering towards its end. The ointment is a specific for cuts, bruises, abrasions, and eruptions often witnessed in the nur sery, and it is no less efficient in healing up soundly and p er manently the chronic ulcers, &c., which so often heap misery on advanced years. By an early attention to the instructions wrapped round each packet of ointment and pills any moderately intelligent person may abridge or avert the discomfort and misery of chronic , ill health, sults as some here have anticipated. The stringency of international law, or at least its enforcement, seems to have slackened of late. With respect to this occupation of a nook of Jutland by the allies, ap pears that it was effected by Marshal Wrangel in conformity with the general instructions with which he was furnished at the commencement of the cam paign; but probably the Berlin Government thought he would again have referred to it before carrying out that portion of the plan. nes is explained the declaration alleged to have been made in Vienna by the Prussian Cabinet, that this Government was as surprised as that of Austria on learning the event. In Berlin to-day it is not believed that there is any present intention of a more extensive occupation of Jutland than that above indicated. A glance at the plea of Fredericia shows that it wouldte a pretty hard nut to crack, if as well defended as we may fairly expect that it would be. The gain to the allies by their occupation of Kolding and a small portion of the adjacent country is supposed to be that they will thereby hamper the enemy's commu nications between Jutland and the islands. They cannot prevent, but they can impede them. It may be asked if this advantage is an equivalent for the political complications arising out of the invasion of Jutland. Some people are in clined to treat these complications lightly, by reason of the many rents that have lately teen with impunity made in the code of international rights and of usages having force of law. Prussia and Austria seize upon Schleswig, they say, as a guarantee for Denmark's execution of her engage ments. They are not conquering or appropriating the country, they merely hold it as a pledge. One might suppose, therefore, that it was their duty to maintain the status quo, and at least to take nothing oat of the land, nor to destroy anything in it. We find them, however, carrying away the guns from the fortifications,' —eight were lately exhibited, which assuredly cost the Prussians neither killed nor wounded, on one of the public squares of Berlin — and the official Anzeiger has just informed us that the works of the Dannewerk and those of Fried richstadt are to be disarmed and razed. By what right do the Germans dismantle the fortresses that have been abandoned to them, and appropriate ord nance which does not belong to them, in a country which they declare themselves to have become pos. sessed of only as a material guarantee? And only two days ago it was declared in official quarters here that Prussia was not at war with Denmark ! With the Guards at Kolding that silly figment can hardly be maintained. Among the vast number of persons in Germany who busy themselves with journalism there is a certain class which is particularly occupied with the compo sition or combination of news, chiefly for transmis sion by telegraph. The usual abode of these hatchers of canards is in the large cities, whence they purvey novelties of their own fabrication to greedy telegraph agencies. Since the war broke out not a few of those gentlemen have abandoned their usual nests, and have strayed forward as far as the Prussian cordon would allow them, and they continue their incubat- ing process in the towns of Schleswig. It is surpris ing how they succeed in imposing even upon tome of the more intelligent of the German journals. I know not whether the following precious specimen of bush—one of the many daily inflicted upon us— has met your eye : " Flensburg, Feb. 19, Night. "The demonstrative march of the Prussian Guard oa Bolding is only intended to exercise a pressure on the Western Powers, who are interposing to bring. about an armistice. No further advance is ordered, but the recall of the Guard is, on the con trary, probable, as well as the conclusion of the ar mistice." It would be difficult to express more absurdities and misstatements in the same number of words. Prussia, whom we know to be dead against an er• mistice, goes into Jutland to exercise a pressure on the great Powers —or, as we must suppose the writer to mean, if he means anything, to induce Denmark to accept the suspension of arms, to which Rhe is known to be equally averse. As to its being probable that an armistice will be agreed upon, there is not a shadow of foundation for the state merit. According to all present appearances there will be more fighting as soon as the necessary pre parations can be made. These may take some time, owing to roads and weather. We are again in the depth of winter, with heavy snow and hard frost. Yesterday the snow was very severe; to-day it is milder, and more scow is falling. The last week of February is little better than was the first. Letters from officers describe their straits and privations up in the front as very rigorous. Either the Danish army had swept Schleswig of its stores, or the riches of that duchy have been much exaggerated. There is literally nothing to be bought there; the troops live on their rations of meat and bread, brought up from far in the rear; brandy and coffee, which the climate and exposure render most de sirable supplies, are stated in some of the letters referred to to be for the most part wanting, while the quarters afforded by the North Schleswig vil lages are generally very wretched. A widely-circulated Belgian paper lately published a telegram announcing that Gen. Manteuffel had failed in the object of his mission to Dresden. This is quite incorrect. The object was to prevent Fede ral reserves being sent into Holstein, and it was attained ; not, however, it is related in political circles here, until Gen. Manteuffel had given the Saxon Government plainly to understand that Prussia was resolved not to tolerate opposition on the part of its puny neighbour, but would, if neces• sary, have recourse to very strong means to over come its obstinacy. This announcement, employed when all other arguments had failed, brought M. von Beust to his senses. The communication with Copenhagen is again in terrrupted, and letters have to go round by Sweden. VIENNA, Feb. 21, Yesterday morning the Austrian Government learned from Hadersheben in Schleswig that there had been " an unimportant rencounter with the enemy's cavalry at Gudsoe," a small place in the Danish province of Jutland, to the north of the road which leads from Kolding to Fredericia ; and later in the day a telegram from Copenhagen announced the arrival "of a considerable body of German troops in Paaby and Eistrup in Jutland." The news was not made known to the Vienna public until yesterday evening, and when known but few per sons appeared to be fully aware of its importan ce . Late in the evening of yesterday I envy a per son who must be well acquainted with the opinions and views of the Imperial Court and Cabinet, and he gave me the assurance that the entry of German troops into Jutland had both surprised and dis pleased the Emperor and his Ministers, "it being a violation of one of the conditions of the Austro• Prussian convention." A few hours ago I had a long interview w ith a person high in office, and he requested me to state that the Im perial Government highly disapproved the step which Marshal Wrangel had taken. In the course of the morning I managed to acquire information which will enable you to form a tolerably correct idea of what has been doing here during the last four and twenty hours. On the receipt of the news that there had been a collision with the Danish cavalry on the northern side of the frontier of Schleswig, Count Rechberg requested Baron Wer ther, the Prussian Minister at this Court ; to call on ' • 4, ' , ./ Z+N.: - . l k t , , - 3 4, `:=!` , 13, k 47,1 , ?i'l l kc Iv V\ him. Baron Werther at once went to tigrs444.* 4 j : ::'-'. AL -' t''i tar/' • Ilac office, but he was unable to give an, 7 in 'ex; : ee, ~./. 1 4 1 to what had occurred, and Count Itt ' " - ili• i . ; iY" -- ; :i ' therefore obliged to address himself ia) the A ss i a la S Government. During the afbernoon .of y esterday the electric telegraph between this city a' .id Berlin was continually at work, but th.i only' it formation that could be obtained from M. von Big' mark was, that he was as much surprised as Cam : Rechberg at what had occurred. The Berlin G evernment will try to make the world believe that t' he German cavalry followed the Danes into Jutland in the hea t of heettle, but it is not likely that the ex. 'use will be accepted, it being a well-known fact that.: Prussia has recently been endeavouring to persuad e Austria to allow her troops to enter Jutland. At 2 o'clock yes terday afternoon a Cabinet Council, at; which the Emperor preside 1, was held, and I to-day learn that it lasted full S hours and a half. Nitwit') stand ing repeated applicaeions to Berlin thie ti eve•ctiment has been unable to learn whether any part of the im perial cavalry was engaged at Gedsce, an d :inetrue tions have therefore been sea t to Licutenen t-Gene ral von Geblenz to remain pa salve until he, :receives instructions from his superiors in this cit:r. It re mains to be seen whether Count Rechber g has been deceived by 111.'yonBismark, or whether the Prus sian military authorities hai' wilfielly disre garded the orders received from the Royal Cabinet. As a matter of course, Austria -will endeavour to prove to England and France that she has not broken the promises made to them in re spect to Denmark, but it is doubtful whether they N vill give her credit for sincerity if she should continue to co-operate with such a slippery Power as 'Prussia. It is not unlikely that Marshal Wrangel will receive orders to quit Jutland immediately, but if his Sovereign should refuse to recall his troops from that province, neither France, England, nor Russia can possibly allow a German Power to establish itself in a coun try which completely commands the North Sea on the one side and the J3altio on. the other. Though there has been .no collusion between Austria and Prussia, it cannot justly be said that the policy of .the latter is free from ambiguity. The Imperial Government would fain stand well with all parties, and, as a matter of course, it stands well with none. It continues to assure the British and French Governments that its "military action" is confined to the occupation of Schleswig, and at the same time it endeavours to win favour with the Band by ordering 13 heavily-armed vessels of war to cruise in the Adriatic and Mediterranean for the protection of the Austrian and German flags. Five vessels will remain in the waters of the Adriatic, six in the Mediterranean, and two—the Emperor, a ship of the line carrying 91 guns, and the Frede rick, a schooner with 22 guns—will go to the North Sea. A few days ago an embargo was laid on a Danish vessel at Trieste, but it was raised as soon ' as it was found that her owners were Holateiners. " During the last four and twenty hours," says a well-informed diplomatist, " two highly important resolutions have been taken here—the one is, that the integrity ofDenmark shall be strictly maintained; the other, that if the Bond should resolve to admit a representative of Duke Frederick of Augusten burg—as Dake of Holstein—to its sittings, Baron Kubeck will enter a protest against such an illegal proceeding, and then retire from the room." In the last number of the Frankfort Journal is a passage, which I quote, as it will serve to show that the Germans have no high opinion of the patriotism of the two great Powers : "At last the mask is fallen. Prussia is to have Holstein, Schleswig is at a fitting moment to be restored to Denmark, and Austria is to be rewarded for her complaisance by Prussia's guaranteeing to her the possession of Venetia." The trophies of war from Schleswig arrived here yesterday, and were at once taken to the Imperial Mews, where they will be exhibited to the public. The trophies, which consisted of one 4-pounder, three 24-pounders, two mortars for throwing 841 b. shells, and 12 Danish flags or pennons, were ac - - companied by twelve men who had received gold and silver medals as a reward for their gallant con duct at Gross Selk and Oversee. A vast crowd ac companied the procession from the Northern Rail way terminus to the Mews, and every now and then it_gave vent to its patriotic feelings in loud and hearty cheers. HALF•PAST FIVE. I have just received the following brief but im portant notice :--- "The temporary occupation of Bolding was tLe consequence of an encounter of some Danish and Austro Prussian troops on the frontier of Jutland. In as far as Austria is concerned, the sffdir will lead to no alteration in the character of the military occupation of Schles,vig• The ends to be attained by tnat occupation are the same as they were a week ago." The Seizure of an English Ship in Malaga, The Correspondencia of Madrid gives the fallow ing details of the seizure in the port of Malaga of the English steamer having cannon and war like stores on board, as has been already briefly mentioned Captain Sinclair declares that the vessel had no other object in entering Malaga than to get a supply of coals and provisions. The crew is composed of 16 men. The Carbineers who had been put on board state that es the authorities discovered that the ves sel had artillery and other wardse stores in her hold, the Civil Governor went on board. It has been proved that although the vessel is said to have come from Newcastle, she was from London and bound to Ancona. She was freighted by a person named Manuel, whom the captain does not know, and is consigned to the same person, with orders to touch at Vigo, Mg tap, and Barcelona. The captain says that he bad touched at Vigo, and also at Ferrol, where he was obliged to repair his engine. The vessel has on board five cannon (two of them rifled), 150 Minie rifles, 150 revolvers, 400 sabres, 44 barrels of gunpowder, 100 pairs of thick shoes, '2OO pairs of trousers, 200 cloaks, 40 boxes of loaded shells, &e. The cannon were concealed under the ballast. Shocking Murder in Glasgow, At a late hour on Tuesday night an atrocious murder was perpetrated in Maitland-street, Cowcaddens, Glasgow. The victim is a woman about 30 years of age, named Jessie Gordon, and the person by whose hands the unfortunate creature has been bereft of life is believed to be one John or William Blair, a joiner by trade, residing at 544, Dobbie's loan. a however, number s r e s p a a man Th e an p d ar t w i e i s fe h . a d A I b i lived t a og m e o th n e t r h f a o g r os rated, but on Tuesday night, shortly before 11 O'clock ' they appeared together in the public house of M r . Alexander Ferguson, in Maitland-street, They went into a box by themselves, and, according to the testimony of a waitress employed in the shop, they wore supplied with two glasses of whisky and a glass of ale. After they had been in the place a short time a quarrel arose between them, and pre" sontly their voices were heard in loud altercation, In the heat of the dispute the woman was seen by some parties in the shop to throw a bottle at her companion, and Blair was subsequently heard to threaten that he would do for her. Almost immediately afterwards Blair left the shop, and proceeded down Maitland-street towards Dobbie's-loan. The woman followed him out, and took the same direction along the street. No one seems to have taken any particular notice of them at this time ; but a minute or two afterwards the attention of the persons in Mr. Ferguson' s shop, and of every one else within ear shot, was arrested by a loud cry of murder proceeding front the quarter towards which they had gone. A girl, named Catherine Lyon or Nelson, who happened to be in Fergu son's, at once ran down the street, in the direction of the cries, and about 40 yards from the shop door she found the yeoman Gordon standing on the pavement, with blood spout ing f ro m a wound in the n eck. B y this time the unfortu nate woman was surrounded by a crowd of people, to whom she intimated that she had been stabbed by tho men in whose company she had been seen. Within a few minutes after the alarm had been raised, Dr. Renfrew was in attendance. lie administered the usual restoratives re sorted to in such cases, but without success, for the patient gradually sank, and expired about 25 minutes after hiserod rival.
